Recently, Chinese banks have been encouraged to crack down on people rushing to get divorced in order to go around second-home purchase rules, as reported by SCMP.

Apparently, the minimum downpayment ratio required of people looking to buy a second home in China has gone up to 80 percent, while the ratio on first time buyers is only 35 percent.

Chinese people who have recently divorced, up till recently, were able to buy homes as first-time buyers, making them pay less for downpayment. However, recent measures taken by China’s banks have closed this loophole.

Well, in this unfortunate society, a lot of people are willing to do anything for money right?
